A heavy, condensed oblique sans with compact proportions and broad, rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes stay largely uniform with minimal contrast, producing dense, dark letterforms and a strong horizontal rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while curves are softened into superellipse-like rounds, keeping shapes sturdy rather than sharp. Spacing is tight and the slant is consistent, giving the alphabet a forward-leaning, compressed silhouette that reads as engineered and impact-driven.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports branding, and promotional graphics where dense weight and forward slant add momentum. It also works well for packaging and bold signage when a compact footprint and strong presence are priorities; it is less appropriate for long-form reading at smaller sizes due to its heavy color and tight forms.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a speed-and-power feel reminiscent of sports graphics and bold promotional headlines. Its thick, compact forms project urgency and confidence, while the rounded geometry keeps it from feeling harsh or overly technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited space, combining condensed width with a consistent oblique stance for a fast, driven look. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests a goal of maintaining friendliness and visual cohesion while still feeling tough and utilitarian.
Round letters like O and Q are built from squarish ovals with smooth corners, and the numerals share the same robust, compact construction for a uniform texture in mixed alphanumeric settings. The punctuation and dots appear sturdy and clearly shaped, supporting punchy, high-contrast layouts where the typography is meant to dominate.
